Good Enough Reason for Me
Ed managed to catch Roy before lunch. "What's Lt. Hawkeye doing here?"
"So you've heard. She's our backup."
He frowned. "I thought we weren't getting back up for this mission.'
Mustang shrugged. "Apparently, the lieutenant respectfully suggested we could use some backup."
Ed thought for a moment. "When you say 'respectfully suggested', were there guns involved?"
The colonel smirked. "Are you suggesting that Hawkeye would threaten superior officers because she was concerned for our safety? Well, mine more than yours probably."
There probably had been guns involved. He would have loved to sit in on that 'discussion' with the top brass.
"Hey, that's a good enough reason for me. Have you ever tried arguing with her? She's more stubborn than Winry."
Mustang shrugged again. "Why do you think she's still working for me? I suggested she would be safer and more successful working under another commander. She threatened to shoot me if I brought it up again."
